The Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring Scenic Area is one of the most precious gifts from nature that China has to offer. Located in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, the crescent moon-shaped spring is a green oasis in a giant area of desert that attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year due to its outstanding beauty, which sparkles like a diamond in the desert. Mingsha Mountain's name derives from the sound made when the wind blows over the dunes, which are the setting for many amazing desert adventures.
